Sharing my Sadness or is it Stupidity?

I guess no one really liked my Crysis Post. It’s an incredible game!... no matter..

2 days ago I went to Hawalli with my friend to shop around for computer parts, I just received a half PC from my friend, missing on that PC was a PSU (Power Supply Unit), DVD Drive, Video Card, & a Hard Disk specifically SATA one.

I went to Hawalli with my friend keeping in mind that I will buy only these stuff, just enough to run that PC. But I ended up spending a lot of money on unwanted crap. Me + Hawalli = Disaster.

First of all, I bought the necessary items needed to start working on the half PC that my friend gave me, but then I got greedy, I have a 40” Full High Definition Sony Bravia, it had 2 HDMI (High Definition Media Interface) Ports, and I was wondering if I only can connect my gaming PC to an HDMI Port, I would get a 1080p resolution over a 40” and I thought immediately of CRYSIS OVER 1080p WOULD RULE.

So I went ahead and bought an DVI to HDMI converter. And since my Gaming PC was a bit far from my Bravia, I decided to get a 4 meters DVI to DVI extender. I bought a very expensive one since I needed a gold plated wire to get a strong signal, specially over 5 meter long distance. I ended up wasting 80KD, and went home after prayer and a delicious meal in Peps Pizza with my friend GunSpeed who treated me. Thanks mate, that pizza was delicious. Also the garlic bread.. damn I never ate one like that before, guess we were cheated with crappy breads from Pizza Hut. Lol.

Anyway. I returned home with a “Time to do Some Computer installation“face on myself. Ready my tools and brought down the PC, opened up all the packages I got, and started working on it. After I completed the installation, I ran the PC over my Bravia using the Bravia’s PC input. Ran like a charm with no problems at all. Except that Sony Bravia PC input had a Maximum Resolution of 1360x768x32. And of course, the resolution whore that I am, I wanted more. So I took out my new DVI to HDMI converter! And tried to hook it to my TV. But sadly the converter was so big, I couldn’t fit in the bravia HDMI Port. The converter was huge. And stupidly Sony decided to put the HDMI Ports Sideways and restricted it with a square that is heading inside the back Panel of the TV.

I went angry because that freaking HDMI to DVI Converter cost me about 16KD. It was gold plated and it looked really nice, I went to Hawalli again in anger searching for an HDMI to DVI Wire. If it’s a wire, it will fit into the back panel of the Bravia without a problem, I found one and paid a freaking 33 KD for it, it was gold plated as well, and long, 4 Meters.

I went back in a hurry to test it on the New PC that I had. Plugged it in, started the PC, worked. I immediately ran the video card driver’s suit to adjust the TV resolution, I went up to 1080p, and when I clicked Apply, the TV screen reported a 1080p Signal out of that lame 14KD Geforce video card. I went so happy and I tested the movie 300. Sadly the picture quality did not match the one that I had using the bravia PC input. Though it was low resolution. But I intended to keep it that way, it’s a waste to not use a 33kd wire hehe.

I then got greedy. Hehe. I hooked the same Wire into my Crossfire Dongle from my Gaming PC. Enabled Crossfire. And ran Crysis on 1080p. IT SUCKED. I was so shocked, I closed it and unhooked the Gaming PC, returned it to the new PC. Fired up the new PC, and was shocked again with the Bravia isn’t outputting any picture.

I panicked. I thought the PC went dead!. I unhooked the PC and immediately hooked the PS3 HDMI port, and it won’t start. Bravia HDMI Port 2 Died. I took a moment of silent and calmed down. Thinking “ That can’t be right… I did not do anything to damage the port.. it is not possible to actually damage the HDMI Port that easily.” . Then the shock stroked me at that time, and I realized that my new 40” Sony Bravia which cost me 900 KD DIED.

I went crazy over the MSN on Bojacob and GunSpeed screaming for help, poor guys were helping me with a lot of solutions; I did them all but nothing happened. Thanks guys! and sorry for crying all over your MSN.

After some time of trial and error, I concluded that HDMI Port 2 is officially dead. And of course, I blamed myself for being such an idiot and greedy. I hooked the new PC back to its PC port, fired it up, and looked at the screen crying. I stopped thinking for about 2 hours, crying on my HDMI-2’s death. I traced my steps, one by one, I can’t find any step that I made wrong. HDMI Ports cannot just die.

The next morning I phoned SONY, explained what happened, I had a warranty on that huge TV, they came to inspect it, after a lot of lame idiotic engineering by their side, they concluded that HDMI-2 is dead and will take it for repairs. They took my Bravia, and my heart was taken with it. I cried as if my Precious Bravia enters the service center. And wished it all the luck to get repaired and back to me for some massive anime watching.

Moral of this Post.

Do Not Get Greedy.

Do Not Get Greedy.

Do Not Get Greedy.

Read the Manual First (that is directed to the lame SONY Idiots who came).

Never take a chance with 900 KD equipment.

Thank God of what you have.

It’s good to experiment; I love it, but don’t do it on a 900 KD equipment.

EDIT #1:-

Sony returning the TV to me by the end of this day without fixing it, they said the board was fried and its going to take 20-30 days to order from japan. sigh =_=; I'll need to wait 20-30 days till the board comes, but at least I will have my TV in the mean time.

Crysis.... MAXIMUM GAME.

I've been playing a lot of games the past few years, and I've been making notes of good ones and bad ones. But this new title just blows my mind up. Crytek is a well known game developer company that brought to us the highly addictive FarCry. Now they just shipped their new game CRYSIS.

Now I can tell you I've played alot of Well designed games, but this one is out of the lead. It has the most beautiful engine I ever saw in my entire gaming life. This game delivers what no other game could. a bunch of pictures will show you a directx 9.0c version of the game

Sadly I do not own a directx 10.0 Video Card. I only have a 2x directx 9.0c video cards The Radeons X1950s. though the game is released on the 16th of november, ATI has yet to give us a good driver that actually works with this beautiful game. They have released a hotfix that should give you some performance increase with your ATI Radeon Hardware, yet it only give you a silly increase in frame per second.

System Specification:-

Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 over cloaked @ 3.09 Ghz (2.92 Ghz original)

4x 1GB XMS2 Corsiar DDR-II 800 Rams (Denominators)

ASUS P5W DH Deluxe Motherboard

ATI Radeon X1950 Crossfire Edition (Crossfire Setup)

ATI Radeon X1950 XTX (Crossfire Setup)

WD Raptor 10,000RPM (Operating System's HD)

WD Raptor 10,000RPM (Gaming HD)

Thermal take Tough Power 700W (crossfire/sli ready PSU)

Dual Booting: - Windows XP x64 SP2 / Windows Vista Ultimate x64

Now, my system is 1 year old. But it has the potential to run the game on High settings.

Note that Very High settings are only available if you have a DirectX 10.0 Hardware

(ie. nVidia 8xxx series or the ATI Radeon HD 2xxx/3xxx series). Also you will need windows Vista since directx 10 only works with vista.

So far the game runs 20-30 fps on a single radeon on High settings but the shadow option which is set to medium, it’s good to play, but you still need more power. This game is so beautiful and I am proud to be a PC gamer and to have played this game, the engine is so complicated. It’s realistic (though I saw some bugs: P). The AI (Artificial Intelligent) in this game is sophisticated, and behaves unpredictably; I tried to ambush one, and ended up being ambushed myself.

The game puts you in a beautifully designed landscape, the more I look at it the more I feel happy that the money I spent on this PC didn’t go to waste.

You will not want to miss this title. If you are a PC gamer. This game is a must to play. a different genre of First Person Shooters. You don’t point and shoot blindly and expect to win, you actually need to think on how to approach the camp how to get the Intel, or how to clear out the camp without alerting other camps.

This game multiplayer is one of the best. if you played Battlefield series of games, this will surely make it up for you, I did not play the multiplayer yet, I still need to finish the single campaign first.

So far I am satisfied with this game (unbelievable ha?) but I still want to complain : D

Yah, Sadly, I want a new freaking driver that works perfectly with my radeons! AMD/ATI. I hope your new Catalyst will bring me joy! Otherwise, am heading for nVidia~! Enough said! I ORDER YOU TO PLAY THIS GAME! For the love of MAXIMUM GAMING!

This is my first time posting pictures on this, so please bare with me :D

Course in PTC

I started this course for a whole month in PTC about some petroleum stuff, I registered on it since it has approximately 7 degrees out of it if I pass it, and to pass it, all I need is to attend, which is fairly easy, also I would be getting good information regarding my work place, specially that this course is named as Oil Industrial Orientation.

That course is divided into sections, each week we study something, So far this week is about to finish and we got a handful of good information.

Now, when I saw the list that came to me at work with it the names of the people attending, I saw only 2 other people on it, 1 girl and 1 boy, I automatically said this going to be a nice course no one is there, easy to maintain and listen normally and get required information’s.

When I reached PTC the first day of the week "Sunday", searched for my hall, and I looked inside. I was shocked. There are a lot of girls in there and only 1 boy. I immediately thought that this is not my course. I asked the receptionist and she said that it is my course.

I went in mumbling inside, angry at the whole thing, thinking of cancelling the whole course and go back to work, why you may ask? A lot of girls mean they going to ask a lot of stupid questions and the lecture will never move forward. And that’s exactly what happened! It’s annoying as hell!

The first 3 days were lectured by a doctor from Kuwait University, I automatically hate it, because its Kuwait university bullshit, and I fucking hate Kuwait gay university, fucking hate it so much, I would gladly throw a nuclear bomb on it and vaporize it. But surprisingly, that doctor is good. his methods are excellent, but to be clearly honest, it’s dropping down to a low level of mentality.

Meaning that he is speaking Arabic/English, giving stupid examples, so people can understand. I won’t blame him, since most of the attendees are not with any engineering degree. He actually pointed that out that it is difficult to lecture people stuff that are not in their field of study. I went bored whenever he gives these stupid lame examples. But when he gets really into the subject, he is well prepared; I’m surprised Kuwait fucking gay university got its hands on someone that is good. But there was a problem with that doctor, he kept on chatting on stuff that aren’t related to the subject (Sowalif), he noticed that some of us are getting tired and bored, so he switched the subject. It gets so stupid and so boring when he does that!

And the girls ask too many stupid questions. One girl stupidly asked, how does a Crude Oil Barrel look like? OH MY GOD? A BARREL IS A UNIVERSAL UNIT! A Barrel can be shaped in any way I want! A BARREL IS A BARREL!

I know you don’t know jack shit about it, but its common sense! The questions from these girls... Oh my god... horrible.

After that doctor took 3 days out of the week, another dude came for a defensive driving lecture. he was from EQUATE, I Automatically hated that person! ANYONE WHO WORKS AT EQUATE ARE BASTARDS. Why? Because they didn’t take me when I applied to them! heheh.... Curse you EQUATE!

Well Defensive Driving is a simple course, you don’t need to be smart to actually know wtf the lecturer talks about BUT THOSE GIRLS man... oh my god with the stupid questions, and today, one of the girls took her time man. It freaking kept on talking crap and bla bla bla bla bla,,, SHUT UP ALREADY!. She talks and admits that she is stupid at driving!

I cannot believe such person. You actually say out loud that you are a stupid driver? Not only 1 story.. MULTIPLE STORIES that she clearly admits that even the stupid driver would laugh at her. It’s so horrible. She took most of the time insulting herself. I wanted to jump out and scream out loud, WE GOT IT ALREADY! WE KNOW THAT YOU TOOK YOUR license WITH WAS6A! AND YOU KNOW SHIT ABOUT DRIVING! SO SHUT UP AND LET THE GUY CONTINUE SO WE CAN GO HOME!

I didn’t care about the class, I took defensive driving twice at work, so I know everything related to it. But the girls, my god the level of stupidity is amazing. And BTW all of them are graduates from Kuwait University. Tells you something huh? lol

Now let all this aside. Let’s talk about the girls.

All the girls are taking sins. Why? You need to see them. They are well dressed. A lot of Makeup, smells nice, and walks by me like a swan, and it tortures me so damn hard! OH MY GOD the makeup is too much... it might fall off of her face! WHY DO YOU MAKE ME SUFFER? (I love makeup btw, but not excessive makeup), this is NOT FAIR! Most of them are married for crying out loud! And am sitting there cursing my life, it’s so wrong doing that.. wallah. Have mercy on us men. I try to not look, and save myself the torture. By The Way, you actually committed a sin right there; you made me look at you sexually. Of course I will! LOOK AT WHAT YOU WEARING!, 7aram 3alaikom wallah… And I will need to endure the torture for the next 3 weeks. May God Have Mercy on my soul, and give me strength to actually pass this without jumping on all the girls and lick their faces off.

Fuck Kuwaiti Drivers.

Why? Because you guys took your license using wasta (was6a). how I know? Because you don’t know shit about driving!

There are a lot of assholes driving out there. These fuckers makes me sick and angry, if I had a mini gun mounted to my car, so I shoot anyone that is doing wrong.

Why do you think some of you deserve to die horribly? I’ll tell you…

Some Kuwaiti Drivers drive slowly in the morning on the left lane. Why? This is how they think “ My Car is new and I need to maintain speed “, “ Am too early and I need to take it easy (eshwarai?)”, “Am too Careful today, I must maintain my speed”..

FUCK YOU. Who gives a shit if you are early in the morning or your car is new, I AM LATE, You better fucking move out of the way you fucking retard! I wish you have a bad accident, you break your bones, taken to a hospital, and then I will visit you, point at you and laugh, stretches in front of you, jumps, dances in front of you while you suffer a horrible pain, body wise and mental wise.

Some other drivers drive too fast. “I am Late, and am doing 170 km/hr” That’s way over the speed. Wtf 170 km/hr? I hope you have a fucking crash that you loss your legs hands and part of your face. I would then visit you at the hospital show you how clean my face is, picks up one of your arms and TWISTED IT so hard and watch you scream in pain!.

Some other drivers.. THE ONES I HATE THE MOST. Fucking drives at 120-130 km/hr, on king fahad road (120 km/hr Maximum Speed by Traffic), and when they see a camera, they fucking reduce their speed to 90/100 km/hr.. W T F did you do that for? The Fucking camera will not take a picture of you at 120km/hr, heck it wont even take your picture at 130km/hr.. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT?. I hope that camera takes a picture of you while am passing beside you and doing 010 at your face. FUCK YOU… FUCK YOU so horribly.

There are some I saw at night not using their headlight, They didn’t even turned on the lights. They probably thinking “I am Cool. I drive at night without lights on” “Everyone sees me, its just fine, no need to turn my lights on” I SO WISH you Fucking crash into a HUGE Trailer that didn’t spot you because you didn’t have headlights on. Take you to the hospital, and I visit you with flash lights and flashes all over your face and jump on your broken bones and laughs at your miserable state.

MORE to come!, Specially the Women.. OH MY GOD the Women.. some drives really slowly with expensive cars “ Tekfa ‘3azilni…. Only expensive cars plz..” I wish you take out your hands to pick someone’s phone number through your window while driving and some fast motorcycle comes passing by and takes your hands with him. And then I’ll visit you in the hospital playing with both of my hands, show you neat tricks you can only do with 2 HANDS and laugh at you so much, you would consider killing yourself right there on the spot.

Women thinks they are respected on the road. Here is how I respect you.. FUCK YOU. If you drive slowly or turned off your headlights or flashes me from behind to slow down and look at you. I’ll fucking push the breaks and let you smash into me, then I’ll get down out of anger and smash your face to the ground. I would also call the police and tell them you crashed into me while they notice your face is fucking bleeding all over the place.

I once had a girl honking on me while I was taking out money from a bank. I went pass by her and demanded to know WTF she wants. She then looked at me, smiled and pressed on the gasoline paddle real hard “Ya3ni el7agni”… honestly did you expect me to follow you? Fucking retard… Fucking bitch… I really wish you have a flat tire while driving so fast and crash into a light pole smashes your fucking head all over your front car window. Taken to the hospital, then I’ll visit you and give you my number. Oh also I’ll laugh at your miserable fucked up state.

What else? OH! Drivers that do not use their signals. Why do you think they put signals on your car? To not use them? Do you think your car will use a lot of battery when you use them?, I had a lot of times when am waiting on a U Turn and that fucking retard did not signal that he/she is going to Turn. So he/she turned while I was waiting for him/her. I really wish a speedy pickup truck passes by you while you doing your U Turn happily and takes the front half of your car with it. Then I’ll stop my car in the middle of the road, jumps off, runs toward you, point and laughs so hard I’ll probably faint.

I wish the authorities gives me permission to mount a mini gun on my car. So help me god I will cleanse this fucked up land from all the scum!.
